Vehicle Detail

This bike is in excellent, like-new condition and was fully serviced at 4,000 miles. Mileage will increase with the warmer weather. Accessories included: LED fog lamps and wind deflector. The fog lamps were a $500 addition and make for much better visibility and safety. I have three bikes and don't ride them as often as I should. I will work with your shipper but shipping is the buyer's responsibility. Transferable Warranty is good until April 28, 2019. Here's what Honda says: Based on the GL1800 Gold Wing platform, Honda's stripped-down Gold Wing F6C injects a jolt of adrenaline into the power cruiser arena, with that incredible horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine and rock-solid chassis married to commanding style and show stopping presence. In celebration of the Gold Wing's 40th year of production, the 2015 Gold Wing F6C receives a new color of Candy Prominence Red and a commemorative key fob to mark this special motorcycling milestone. The Gold Wing's opposed six is a motorcycling icon. What happens when you take that great powerhouse and plug it into a cruiser chassis? You get a ride like nothing else on the road. Cruisers are as American as apple pie, and for good reason: they're fun and comfortable. When you're talking about a Honda Valkyrie, everything is even more fun and more comfortable. The Valkyrie doesn't look like most other cruisers because it's not. It's bigger and more powerful so they gave it a whole new styling treatment, too. Chassis The F6C employs the bare minimum of chassis needed to bolt a rider to its mighty motor. Constructed from lightweight multi-box aluminium sections the twin-spar frame is aided by the engine's low centre of gravity (it also acts as a stressed member) to create superbly balanced handling at all speeds. The aluminium subframe lowers the F6C's tail. Easy ground reach - seat height is just 734mm - and a comfortable, carefully shaped seat that's just 300mm wide at the critical portion aids rider confidence at standstill. The 45mm telescopic forks are matched to a Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) monoshock that can be adjusted manually for spring preload; it works through Pro-Link on the single-sided aluminium swingarm. Spring and damping rates front and rear have been modified to suit the F6C's weight reduction and urban cruiser intent. Compared to its siblings, the F6C's steering geometry is stretched out: rake is set at 29° 50′ with 114mm trail. Overall dimensions are 2,473mm (L) x 942mm (W) x 1,154mm (H) with wheelbase of 1,707mm. Curb weight is 341kg. For improved stability in naked form the front/rear weight bias has been adjusted to an effectively even 49.9/50.1, and the engine support beam's rigidity balance subtly adjusted (made 'softer') for improved rider feel through the chassis. Wide, rubber-mounted swept-back handlebars provide leverage and control. To deliver the required grip levels with neutral handling characteristics an F6C-specific 19-inch cast aluminium front wheel wears a low profile 130/60-R19 tyre, the 17-inch rear a wide 180/55-R17. The brake system features twin 310mm floating front discs and opposed four-piston calipers, plus a rear 316mm ventilated disc/three piston caliper with 2-channel ABS for safe stopping in slippery conditions. The F6C's bold look is chiseled and purposeful. Flowing organically from the solid front quarter it builds on the frame and engine's strong, burly form and the twin rear mufflers define and underscore the rear quarter. The F6C has a clean and un-cluttered custom look and boasts full LED lighting - headlight, taillight, running lights and indicators - providing great visibility plus unique light signatures. All instrumentation is housed in a stylish dash with 'negative' LCD display. Engine The goal for the F6C's engine was to produce a rush of acceleration at a split-second's notice from a standing start. It also needed to provide epic, unforgettable drive from low rpm in top gear and offer up super-smooth throttle response everywhere in the rev-range. Honda's 1,832cc horizontally opposed SOHC 12-valve six-cylinder unit has a real head start in the power delivery department. Fed by PGM-FI controlled fuel-injection with twin 40mm Keihin throttle bodies, it employs an F6C-specific 6.6-litre airbox and panel-type air filter. Bore and stroke is set at 74mm x 71mm, with compression ratio of 9.8:1. It produces 167Nm torque at just 4,000rpm, with peak power output of 85kW @ 5,500rpm. Location of the radiators proved an interesting challenge, as they could not be front mounted. Side mounting was the natural solution with airflow managed by optimised channeling within the side cowls. The five-speed gearbox (which employs 5th as very much an overdrive for relaxed cruising) delivers the engine's torque via shaft drive. The hydraulic clutch lever's pull ratio has been revised to offer a lighter action - less than 60N load - for stress-free operation. The exhaust system was developed to get a perfectly balanced exhaust note with dual personality - a throaty growl at low-rpm and high-pitched crescendo at maximum rpm. The left hand muffler has a slightly larger 3.8-litre volume, the right 3.3-litre.Technical Details ENGINE 1832cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder Bore And Stroke 74.0mm x 71.0mm Induction PGM-FI Ignition Computer-controlled digital with 3-D mapping Compression Ratio 9.8:1 Valve Train SOHC; two valves per cylinder DRIVE TRAIN Transmission Five-speed Final Drive Shaft CHASSIS / SUSPENSION / BRAKES Front Suspension 45mm cartridge fork with anti-dive system, 4.8 inches travel Rear Suspension Pro Arm® single-side swingarm with Pro-Link® single shock with remote-controlled spring preload adjustment, 4.1 inches travel Front Brakes Dual 310mm discs Rear Brake 316mm rear disc Front Tire 130/60R-19 Rear Tire 180/55R-17 DIMENSIONS Rake 29.9° Trail 114mm (4.5 inches) Wheelbase 67.1 inches Seat Height 28.9 inches Curb Weight 752 pounds (Includes all standard equipment, required fluids and a full tank of fuel-ready to ride) Fuel Capacity 6 gallons Miles Per Gallon 41 MPG - Miles per gallon values are calculated estimates of fuel consumed during laboratory exhaust emissions tests specified by the EPA, not during on road riding.
